Use dd to image it.
sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdX of=filename.img
Write it back by doing the reverse.

I have a Targus Bluetooth 4.0 one and it works.

There was no stretching to widescreen on the short test I did last night.

SFIII wasn’t working for me in Retropie but it’s working in the libretro core of the latest Recalbox. Not sure why that is but I am happy.

[quote=86583]Nice to hear that =) Is PSX emulation now smooth or “just” “better” ?
[/quote]

I didn’t try it for long, but playing Gran Turismo it felt like it was 20 years ago when I played in on my PS1. So I would say it was “smooth”.

[morias]

I have updated my Retropie and run it on a Pi 2. On a quick test, PS1 games are a lot faster, SNES about the same, however Megadrive is very slow with choppy sound. They are all running on Retroarch.

[morias]

I haven’t received my model 2 yet, so I can’t try it myself. However, I am very interested to know if anyone gets it going in the meantime.

[morias]

Put the sd card in an older Raspberry Pi, eg the B+ and run the command. Then put the newly updated sd card in the new version 2 Raspberry Pi.

[morias]

I haven’t got these controllers and have not tried it, but does this help?

[morias]

Try the chown command. Zsprawl’s guide on these forums for Retropie 2.2 has it.

dd is a command line tool for unix to backup disks. It can be dangerous so be careful.

From memory I run the following:

df to see what disks are mounted.
umount /dev/sdb1 if my sd card is device sdb
sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdb of=filename.img

To copy that to the new sd I unmount it and run:
sudo dd bs=4M if=filename.img of=/dev/sdb

You might want to google some other pages about backing up a sdcard using dd before doing it for the first time. Obviously you need another linux computer to do it as you can’t do it whilst it is mounted.

[morias]

It is definitely interchangeable. I have done it with dd on Linux.

[morias]

I suggest you check the directory and see if the files exist. If they do, try running the command from the command line.

[morias]

That doesn’t look like a bios problem. If the bios isn’t there it comes up with a message saying it needs the bios.

You may wish to check gpsp is installed correctly.

[morias]

Keep trying more shaders. I like hq2x.

[morias]

I didn’t have that problem. Maybe you got a bad board.

[morias]

I think gpsp doesn’t work with the dpad on most controllers. Having said that I wished it did.

[morias]

Time for my mea culpa. After fiddling around and not making it work, I rechecked the individual emulator files and found that the SNES and Megadrive one indeed to have override settings. After turning these off my shader settings are indeed sticking.

[morias]

I can happily report that the B+ works just fine. I didn’t have to change a thing.

[morias]

My setup is also on a micro sd (with adapter) so I should be able to quickly test it tonight. I don’t anticipate any problems.

[morias]

It works on mine but I also put a hash before the hotkey setting which was set to ESC.

[morias]

I have one. Hadn’t had time to use it yet and didn’t get any tv time from my wife last night. Maybe tonight if someone doesn’t answer your query first. I think it will be fine provided the raspbian base is updated.

[morias]

This is some homework for me tonight. I read this page before, but I have read it a little closer now.

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/wiki/RGUI

It says:

When you apply shaders, the RGUI shader settings are saved to a temporary file (either rgui.cgp or rgui.glslp) and loaded. The file persists after RetroArch exits. The file is saved to video_shader_dir directory in config. If you always want to load the RGUI preset on bootup, you can set video_shader option to this file.

Further it says:

While you are changing settings in runtime, they are not saved to disk afterwards on PC by default. If you want RetroArch to automatically write back the config, either set config_save_on_exit = true in config, or enable this under Settings -> Config Save On Exit from within RGUI.

I will see if this fixes my problem and report back.

[morias]

Thanks for the suggestion, but my individual emulator config files basically are empty apart from a few joystick overrides I have put in them to switch some keys depending on the emulator.

However, I have also thought that perhaps the 3 shaders which are setup by default may be stored somewhere, I just don’t know where and the logical place where the settings would be in the config/all/retroarch.cfg does not contain the settings.

[morias]

I added the following to my boot config.txt

overscan_scale=1

It fixed the overscan issue and also unexpectedly also fixed an issue where the joystick appeared to scroll continuously from top to bottom.

[morias]

I figured it out:

There was a typo in the joystick command. It needs 2 dashes not 1. Also the path looks like it is setup for running off usb, not the internal SD Card. I have changerd the entry in Emulation Station to the following and it is working. Might also want to update the wiki.

DESCNAME=ScummVM
NAME=scummvm
PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm
EXTENSION=.svm
COMMAND=scummvm -f –joystick=0 %BASENAME%
PLATFORMID=99

Thanks for making the script. It is very useful.

[morias]

I am really keen to get this to work but it is not working for me. I believe I have followed the instructions correctly.

If I use:

PATH=/media/usb0/scummvm

Nothing shows up in emulationstation.

If I use:

PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm

I see the titles in emulationstation but they don’t load.

If I go back to default settings I can load the games, but need to go through the menu using a keyboard to do it.
